Those who say the future of paper is absolute have not had the pleasure of discovering the wonders of Tyvek paper products.

A durable woven paper material, Tyvek is flexible and textured like paper, yet it is so strong and tough that it has none of the weaknesses of paper. It is water-resistant and doesn't tear easily, yet it folds and crumples up when needed, making it an excellent material for travel maps, envelopes and other paper items that go through lots of use and wear. This resilient material is suitable as home decor and fashionable attire for the eco-friendly style mavens who are on the hunt for new and unusual fabrics.
